OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) -- Delegates approved a resolution aimed at stopping what Senator Ben Sasse wants: a third option for President.

On Saturday-- Sasse's own Republican Party in Nebraska took formal steps to stop his movement.

Voting to adopt a resolution opposing any elected Republican official's effort to draft a third party candidate- like Sasse has done...

Resolution 8 reads, “The party will oppose any effort by an elected official to support a third party presidential candidate.” Ultimately, saying it helps Hillary Clinton...

Trump overwhelming won the Nebraska primary-- which was the first after other candidates dropped out.

I believe the rich are deeply worried about Donald Trump hurting their Foreign investments that they use manufacturing out of the country and ship into the country to be sold. So far the rich have bough everyone but Donald Trump. Even Mark Cuban is a Foreign investor who did support DOnald Trump at first. While the rich take our jobs out of the country, they are importing rapefugees, foreign visa workers, and illegal immigrants.

Trying to get the reasons why they hate Trump and are perfectly okay with the worst and most divisive, destructive, unAmerican person ever to sit in the Oval Office. What are the Trump haters afraid of?

1. Losing the power they’ve had
2. afraid Trump will decide things that take away their left wing freedoms (Killing babies in the womb, they are afraid Trump will clean up society).
3. have heard on the news somewhere that you should hate the man, so they do.. and do not know why.

One young person said she wouldn’t vote for a racist bigot (Trump), so she is voting for a socialist. She has heard that about Trump and has never investigated if it was true or not... so she is trading a good man for a socialist. I told her she would have to live under socialism for a time and she’d wake up one morning and ask herself “what have I done?”

4. They are so comfortable with the evil dictator and his lies that they don’t want it to change.
5. They are living on food stamps/welfare and afraid of losing it.
6. are just too dumb to know the difference and if we Christians and conservatives like him, they are against anything we are for.

I think the main reason is they are hearing hate in their circles.. don’t know the truth .. and don’t want to know the truth. For that reason, Fox, along with all the rest of the media has done this to our country and to the man who would help us...stirring up hate and trouble, for their ratings .. to make a story instead of promoting the good.

They have so showed who they are and they are ugly to the core. They are jealous, arrogant, self absorbed, and the love of this country is not in their sphere. I remember in WWII, Hollywood volunteered to fight... there was a love and respect for this land... there was a profound patriotism all over the country. Everything for our soldiers in Europe... honor and pride.. You young people don’t know how much it’s changed... and it’s not being taught in the schools or colleges.. just the down side and that’s done a number on our country.

she is not my friend... she is a young girl who thinks she knows it all and she doesn’t know squat. I have no tolerance for those types... she is ignorant and those types want freebies... there is no understanding of what bernie would do to her and her future.

Young and spoiled is what I see... no respect and no sense.

This is nothing new. The Nebraska Republican Party has to do that from time to time. Back in the 1960’s through much of the 1970’s, Demoncrats held most important offices even though they were a minority in the State.

What invariably happened was that a couple of strong Republicans would face off. The loser in the primary would decide to run in the election as an Independent. The Republican and the Independent would split the Republican vote and the Demoncrat would win.’

Eventually, the State Party decided that anyone who lost the primary and then went on to run in the election would never again get State Party money — and they spent a lot of time getting large donors to agree. One guy bucked the system. Afterward, he was not allowed to run for anything as a Republican. He ran for a few other things and lost every time. That was a great object lesson. However, people forget over time and things often have to be repeated.

yet The Nebr Republican party failed to enter a Republican in the race for Unicameral in My district primary. At the last minute they claimed the libertarian candidate as theirs.

He got less than 5% of the vote and trailed ALL 3 of the Dems trying for that office.

I believe there is substantial “Republican” support for Mrs. Bill. Jebbie has not officially declared yet, however.

[Young and spoiled is what I see... no respect and no sense.]

The sin of youth who are spoiled and lied to in the public school systems and at home by parents who never searched for the truth.

I believe this is the resolution that is claimed to be a reprimand of Sasse. It does not name him, but it describes his recent #NeverTrump rhetoric.

Nebraska Republicans PASS RESOLUTION to Reprimand #NeverTrump Senator Ben Sasse

... Sam Fischer has issued a proposed resolution -- set for a vote at the convention -- declaring that the state party will refuse to support any Republican officeholder who opposes the GOP presidential nominee or agitates for a third-party candidate.

Though the measure doesn't name Sasse, the junior senator is clearly the target. He has become the most prominent elected Republican to embrace the "#NeverTrump" movement ...
